The ballet part is true:

The being ancestrally 75% white part is also true (he had one black grandparent).
Two. But give me the desperate rescue where you reconstruct his life history re racial identity. This’ll be great.
It's still the case that he is mixed race and has more white ancestry than b/lack ancestry to the tune of at least 75% white, that he moved to NYC after high school to pursue a career as a ballerina, and that he did not identify as b/lack until in his 20s in college when he became woke.
ballerina? so VR is not only white but a white woman and not a blk man? wow, I did not see that turn of events coming.

even victor doesn't identify as a black man, dingdong. in the natgeo article he refers to himself as a mixed-race person who "can pass as white."
"Although I can pass as white, and this has undoubtedly made my life easier in many spaces, my life has still been shaped by a lack of intergenerational wealth and by asthma, both of which were shaped by being born in a segregated black neighborhood. When journalists reduce racism to the actions of nasty individuals, they miss how racism shapes life chances beyond interpersonal meanness. My experience as a mixed-race person who could pass for white has always been marked by white supremacy."

how did you not understand the tongue in cheek. DINGDONG!

This is reaching. I was initially skeptical, but I think VR wins and SJMR loses this one.
He looked super mixed as a baby
No he doesn't. Have you seen the photos he posted on twitter? He looks entirely white even while around extended family members who are black. I get the sense there may have been a mix-up at the hospital, or else perhaps his father was a white man unknown to him that his mother kept a secret from his father. A genetic ancestry test and paternity test would clear this up, but would also destroy VR's career faster than you can say Dolezal.
Just look at his Twitter from 4 days ago. A lot of this debate can be cleared up with those pictures
There's no debate. He obviously is what he says he is--a very light-skinned man born into a blk family. It happens, for a variety of reasons. Who cares? If you're going to go after him, it should be for his shod/dy SJWness. Not his skin color.

"born into a black family" one of his parents is white. his other parent is half white. you see a photo he posted on twitter of a black uncle holding him as a baby in the 70s and case closed huh?

You're just making this up. You have no evidence of his parents' racial status. None.

Why are you so intent on defending his honor? Are you his best friend? Are you the black uncle?
The fact that refers to himself as "mixed race" and states that he can "pass as white" logically suggests that one of his parents is white, no? why won't he post a photo on twitter of his white mother holding him. only a black uncle? sketch

Yep. He looked like a mixed-race baby. He had the features of a Blake Griffin or Tyrus on Fox News.

I have no sympathy for this clow/n at all. But I've seen people repeatedly lie about him in sjmr. I believe nothing without evidence.
agreed. SJMR loses this one. VR said something silly about asthma, but his main point still stands. He never tried to pretend he was fully blck. He is open about being light skinned and having advantages from that.
